Penny Kipp

Priscilla Jane Kipp, 74, of Bryan, Texas, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, October 29, 2021.

Penny was born on February 17, 1947 to John and Lee Vreeland in Montclair, New Jersey. After graduating from Southwest Miami High School in 1964, she went on to work for the City of Miami and later had an in-home daycare. After she retired from Wyle Laboratories, she finally realized her dream of becoming a nurse at the age of 55. Her most favorite occupation, though, was being a wife, mother, and a homemaker.

Penny married Ron, the love of her life, in 1975, creating a yours, mine, and ours family with daughters Shannon Lee, Melinda Lee, Susan Rene, and Deborah Jane. She was a loving wife, dedicated mother, loyal sister, and attentive friend. Penny was devoted to her Lord, living a life honoring Him, and wanting nothing more than to see her children and grandchildren walk with the Lord as well.

Penny was passionate about her grandchildren, attending any activity they had when she could. She honestly felt that her grandchildren were the prettiest, the most athletic, the fastest, the smartest, and most talented ones in any setting or activity. Her presence will be missed greatly at all of those activities and big days they will experience without her.

Penny was predeceased by her father, John Vreeland. She is survived by her mother, Lee Vreeland of Jasper, GA, sister Virginia Sage (husband Tom) of Sorrento, FL, and brother Edward Vreeland (wife Sharon) of Jasper, GA. She is also survived by her husband of 47 years, Ronald Kipp of Bryan, daughter Shannon Williams and son-in-law Gary of Bryan, daughter, Melinda Smith and son-in-law Ryan of Friendswood, daughter Debbie Ackiss and son-in-law Terry of Norfolk, VA, and daughter Rene Woodlief of Norfolk, VA. Grammy will be missed by her grandchildren Misty Leigh, Mackensie Jayne (husband Zane Wallace), Linda Grace, Colin Ryan, Rylee Jordan, Anthony (wife Jessica), Veronica (husband Matt Krapf), Katie (husband Jesse Nuño), Sabrina, and Krista (husband Bryan Lowry). She was also loved by her great grandchildren Isaac, Thomas, Jacob, Madalynn, and Maggie.

There will be a visitation on Thursday, November 4, from 5-8 pm at Hillier of Bryan. A service will take place at 2 pm on Friday, November 5, at the funeral home with a graveside service to follow.
